During the awards show, Donovan, 49, took to the stage with other performers to perform Any Dream Will Do from Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a production he starred in for a number of years in the 1990s.

Donovan, who has battled drug addiction in the past, made headlines in 2016 when he said that he’d be willing to let his kids try drugs at home.

“Life happens and you’ve got to educate your kids to make the right choices. It would be a terrible thing to say but I almost feel like: ‘If you are gonna do it, bring it home and do it’ — does that sound weird?

“If you want to do it, do it in front of me right now and I’ll keep and eye on you. That’s how I feel about it … it’s a bit like alcohol in Europe where they’re allowed to drink.”
